Reason #2: His characters on WWE ’13 and Fire Pro Returns are both beasts.
I’ve only played two Fire Pro games but I love them and consider them the second best wrestling games of all time (I even re-bought a Playstation 2 a few years ago just for those games). If you played Vader on any of those Fire Pro games, you’ll know he’s a beast in those. Besides having a great moveset, out of nowhere he’ll CRITICAL anybody.
Vader was also in WWE ’13 and he was awesome there too. I was kinda sad that he wasn’t included in WWE 2K14 (and probably not WWE 2K15 either). It’s sad because he was the only non-created wrestler I used. I guess I could make one in the new game and start Vader Bombing motherfuckers left and right but it’s just not the same. *sigh*
Sidenote: Let’s not even get into Vader being an influence on games like Saturday Night Slam Masters and the Fatal Fury series
